Welcome to Room 4's blog!!!

Apologies for the late start to the blog but term 1 was crazy busy! I thought I would start off with a few photos from term 1 to show just how busy we have been.

We did a lot of swimming last term to build confidence in our water safety. 

 This is us figuring out who's the eldest in the class and the youngest! 

Learning to play squash!  

DANCE FEVER WAS MASSIVE!  We did so well and everyone that came on the night performed amazingly! 

We also went to the Museum to learn more about Turangawaewae, this was an awesome trip and we enjoyed learning more about migration. 

...TERM 2...

Starting off in term two we have already had Harold and Jennie from Life Education visit us. We learnt about the digestive system and how different foods effect our bodies. Hanging out with Harold was awesome fun.

We have started exploring our inquiry topic of SYSTEMS. There are four main systems that we will be looking into which are Biosphere, Lithosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere.

Just thought I would leave a quick message for now and photos for you to look at and I will add more about what we are doing again soon!

Last week on Tuesday we had out market day. Our class had 3 stalls and they were beauty, skill tester and sugar rush ( ice-cream).In our beauty store we had nail polish, face painting and temporary tattoos. We managed to raise $182 dollars so we decided to go Burger King. We got to spend $6 dollars each and some people brought extra money. We went to Burger King yesterday at lunch time. After we ate some of us played the arcade games in Burger King. We all had fun. This is also the last blog for the year and we are looking foward to seeing you next year.

I'm going to pass you on to Jeannie who will continue this blog 

Jeannie: So, as you know it's the last room 4 blog for the year, we have had our market day and all that events. We have learnt heaps  about the 4 contexts throughout this year.

Term 1: We learnt about identity.  Identity is things to do about yourself and mainly personal information about you.  Also knowing that you are an essential part of your family, school, city, country and the world.
Term 2: We have learnt about function and simple machines.  This truly has helped our class learn more about function and what it can do  that makes it special.  Our big idea was that for things to operate well all the smaller bits that make it up all have a special job or function.  When one part is missing or nor working this may effect the function of the machine.
Term 3: Our context was about Global World.  Global world is about different countries, about people's lifestyle and they can or could communicate as a team/culture, and how we are all connected.
Term 4: The last term we learnt about different environments. Our main environment we learnt about the most was New Zealand's Marine Environment.  It means a lot to us people and to the world fantasy sea creatures.  Our big idea was that environments sustain life and we need to be aware of the footprints that we leave.


Well that is all I can say.  Like Lana said, have a safe holiday and Merry Christmas!
